Londons scrumptious skyline

We have fun with food! Watch our exclusive video on how world renowned photographer Carl Warner and his team have transformed London’s iconic skyline into an edible healthy foodscape using no fewer than 20 different types of fruit and vegetables ranging from green beans to the exotic citrus fruit kumquats.

Big Ben is made with slices of citrus fruit while an edible version of The Houses of Parliament is created with a mix of asparagus, green and runner beans subtly mixed with baby sweetcorn to depict the intricate stonework of the political landmark.

The finished artwork took Carl Warner and his team of five model makers three weeks to craft, construct and compile. Challenges they faced included how to keep the fresh and highly perishable fruit and vegetables looking their best for the final image and which types of produce would compliment the grandeur of the iconic buildings.

One of London’s most popular tourist attractions St Paul’s Cathedral, has been given a modern day food makeover, with the spire being created from roundels of carrot, yellow and green courgette and baby leeks. The famous dome designed by Christopher Wren in the 17th century, has been transformed through the use of a melon, while the impressive columns have been crafted out of baby sweetcorn.
